Description
The TRNG-0603 IronShield Security course is an in-depth study
of the features that Foundry has deployed in its full range of Layer 2-3
switches, routers, and intelligent traffic management devices to implement
secure networks. It covers the operations, configuration, troubleshooting
and network analysis using Foundry’s products. Upon completion of this
course, you will be able to use the Foundry Networks’ devices as policy
enforcement points.
Who will benefit?
Anyone working with Foundry products.
Prerequisites
TRNG 0103 Basic Switch/Router Configuration and Management. A
working knowledge of Foundry Network’s CLI is a must.
Objectives
By the end of the course delegates will be able to:
- Identify layer 2 and 3 security issues and how they are addressed on
Foundry Networks devices.
- Describe Foundry Networks security strategies and initiatives.
- Implement the typical Foundry layer 2/3 security features demonstrating
the hardening of Foundry devices.
- Use imbedded Foundry tools to monitor and identify basic security breeches.
- Configure Foundry devices to use TACACS+/RADIUS.
